We get into really crucial issues, such as whether there should be a space between an ellipsis and the word which follows or preceedes it. Arcane doesn't begin to describe it, but some of us are that way inclined. "Pinhead" is in the name for a reason.

Replying to: richard64 (Oct 29, 2007 7:24 am) As someone who holds an English degree, I absolutely hate apostrophe abuse. In some cases, I've walked around town and grocery stores using a marker to remove additional apostrophes whenever possible. I've even contacted the editor of the New York Times to complain about an article using an apostrophe to indicate plural instead of possessive. I also get annoyed when folks use an apostrophe for possessive "its," when they don't realize that the apostrophe makes that into "it's = it is." Oh yeah, I also dislike "whom" abuse. They should do a better job of teaching folks when to use whom and when to us who. Ok, sorry...rant over.
